The
village ofLlangennith

The village of Llangennith or "Llangenydd"
(meaning Church of St Cenydd) nestles between the slopes of three hills;
Llanmadoc Hill, Rhossili Down and Hardingsdown. The latter is the smallest
of the red sandstone hills and has a number of iron age earthworks on
its slopes.

Llangennith is a popular destination with families and surfers (it
even has its own surf shop). Even before surfing became popular, the
sea was the focal point of the village, given its setting at the foot
of the hills. There must be as many tales involving shipwrecks and smuggling
in Llangennith, as exists for their neighbours in Horton and Port Eynon or Brandy
Cove, Bishopston.

The church in Llangennith is the largest in Gower and is believed to
have evolved from St Cenydd's Priory, founded in the 6th century and
hence giving its name to the village.
